How to watch/listen DRM protected Windows Media .WMV/.WMA files in Linux/Unix/MacOSX


Current version of MPlayer from SVN does support drm protected files. So now you can watch/listen to DRM protected Windows Media .WMV/.WMA files on Linux / Unix / MacOSX !

To play DRM protected Windows Media files with MPlayer use the following command:
Code:
mplayer -demuxer lavf -lavfdopts cryptokey=drm_sid_in_hex_format ./sample.wmv
You can get SID in hex format by running FreeMe2.

Now users of Unices and Mac OS are able to play DRM protected files, but obviously this method of playing is not very convenient.
